How to make a home renovation for the elderly reasonable, and not excessively suitable for the elder

With the increasing prominence of the aging of the Chinese population, the pension model is gradually changing. Influenced by traditional cultural concepts, the elderly in China are relatively reluctant to provide for the elderly in institutions and communities, and home care is still dominant. As the human body enters the stage of old age, people's physiological functions gradually decline, and psychological needs will also change to varying degrees.

Therefore, it is particularly necessary to choose a convenient, practical, comfortable and safe indoor space. However, most of the current modern residential design lacks care for the elderly, and the spatial layout and details do not conform to the physical and psychological characteristics of the elderly.

In view of the lack of suitable design for the elderly, from the perspective of the needs of the elderly, combined with ergonomics, this paper explores how to make the interior space design of home care more reasonable, more targeted and more humane. Aging is about adapting to middle-aged and elderly people. Generally, it refers to the aging of architectural design, public facilities (shopping malls, hospitals, schools, etc.).

Construction, living environment decoration, etc. As China gradually enters an aging society, new facilities and public buildings should give priority to the physical functions and mobility characteristics of the elderly, and design accordingly.

To solve the problem of age-appropriate transformation, the construction of many old buildings and facilities does not give much consideration to the middle-aged and elderly. Now to adapt to the usage habits of middle-aged and elderly people, the only way to upgrade the facilities is to upgrade them. This process is referred to simply as a proper timeliness transition.

The location of the elderly's room should be close to the bathroom. Try to make sure you have enough space to move around your home. Illuminating.

Choose a light with moderate brightness, not too bright and not too dark, and it is best to install night lights in the aisles and stairs to make it easier for the elderly to get up at night. The storage system must be sufficient.

The old man has a nostalgic complex, and many things are reluctant to throw away. At the same time, the cabinet door can be made of glass, so that it can be seen from the outside, preventing the elderly from remembering. The elderly have poor resistance, and air conditioning and floor heating at home can be installed to prevent illness caused by ventilation.

The choice of floor, the elderly will be sluggish, so pay more attention to the non-slip treatment of the home space, non-slip flooring, or wooden flooring, carpet, etc. Door and window switches at home. The ability of the elderly to accept new things is not necessarily strong, so the door and window locks should be as simple as possible to operate, and the height and opening and closing methods should be appropriately reduced.

The range of activities of the elderly is relatively narrow, and they spend more time in indoor living space, which has objective regularity, repetition, aggregation, privacy, regionality and uncertainty. It is desirable that the interior space will be self-contained, able to enhance functionality and security, and thus resist different degrees of physiological aging.

Age-appropriate home renovation needs to comprehensively consider the needs and actual situation of the elderly to ensure that while providing convenience and safety, it is not overly age-appropriate. Here are some suggestions:

1.Customized transformation: Customized transformation according to the individual needs of the elderly, rather than generalization. For example, adjust the height and layout of furniture according to the height and convenience needs of the elderly.

2.Comfort first: It's important to maintain comfort rather than simply considering aging-related needs. For example, choose comfortable seats and mattresses, provide adequate lighting and ventilation, etc.

3.Accessibility: Focus on accessibility in the renovation to ensure that seniors can enter and exit the house freely and have easy access to a variety of equipment and facilities. But at the same time, it is also important to avoid incorporating too many accessibility features into the design, so as not to bring unnecessary impact to the indoor space.

4.Safety improvements: Pay attention to the safety needs of the elderly, including non-slip flooring, handrails, anti-fall facilities, etc. But be careful not to over-modify it so as not to bring a feeling of tension and oppression to the home environment.

5.Introduce smart technology: Introduce smart technology devices and assistive devices, such as smart home systems, health monitoring devices, etc., to provide a more convenient and safe living environment.

However, according to the use and receptivity of the elderly, it is necessary to avoid overly complex or difficult to operate technology products.

6.Preserve autonomy: Respect the autonomy and habits of the elderly, and avoid excessive intervention and restrictions. Retain some flexibility when retrofitting to allow seniors to adjust to their needs and preferences.

In conclusion, age-appropriate home renovation needs to balance the needs of the elderly with the actual situation, and be oriented towards providing convenience and safety, but also consider comfort and the ability to retain autonomy. Carry out personalized renovation according to individual conditions to avoid excessive aging, make the home environment more suitable for the elderly, and improve their quality of life.

The ground is too slippery, it is inconvenient to get up, it is inconvenient to move, it is inconvenient to shower, and the switch is not within reach, but some seemingly simple things in life bring difficulties to the elderly. Renovation for the elderly is to solve the problem of unsuitable old building facilities, adapt to the living habits of middle-aged and elderly people, improve the living comfort of the elderly, and make the life of the elderly safer.

1.Porch. Shoe changing stool.

This design should be a basic need, the elderly will change shoes and wear shoes a little slower, in the entrance design of the shoe changing stool, they no longer need to squat or stand on one foot, to provide a safe and convenient space for changing shoes.

2.Safety is always the first priority for the elderly in their home life.

Slow pace, impaired vision, the elderly sometimes can't see the height difference of the ground in their homes clearly, resulting in unsafe accidents such as falls. Floor tiles have become a popular trend, and the entrance door, kitchen door, bathroom door, and balcony door are designed without height difference inside and outside to avoid the elderly from tripping over the threshold, and the elderly are convenient to enter and exit even if they are in wheelchairs.

3.Furniture needs to be suitable for the elderly, the soft and hard height of the seat and bed, the height of the table, the height of the cabinet, etc., these are all things that need to be carefully considered. Age-appropriate furniture is designed and produced according to the characteristics and living habits of the elderly.

Some age-appropriate designs such as non-sharpening design and high fit ergonomics can avoid accidental injuries such as bumps in the daily life of the elderly, unstable center of gravity and falls.

The planning and layout and key details of the environment suitable for the elderly truly start from the perspective of self-reliance, self-esteem and self-entertainment of the elderly, so as to avoid the psychological worries of the elderly and directly affect the daily life of the elderly in the future.

The State shall establish and improve a social pension service system based on the home, supported by the community, and supported by institutions.

Advocate the whole society to give preferential treatment to the elderly.

Second, the conditions for aging transformation.

The conditions for age-appropriate renovation include:

1. Families with family members who are elderly, disabled, or severely disabled and have a subsistence allowance or a registered poor household;

2. Families of the elderly in extreme poverty who are supported in a decentralized manner;

3. Other families of the elderly in difficulty who have been identified by the district-level civil affairs department as having the need for transformation. Those who have supported the elderly at home and have transformation needs are included in the transformation objects for the elderly.

The purpose of age-appropriate renovation is to solve the difficulties in the daily life of the elderly and make the life of the elderly more comfortable and convenient. Age-appropriate renovation can improve the comfort of life, make the elderly live more safely, improve the convenience of life, and reduce the burden.

With the deepening of China's aging population, the issue of old-age care has received more and more attention from the society, and the transformation of home for the elderly has become a work vigorously promoted by the state in recent years, and the transformation of home for the elderly is of great significance.

Create a safe environment to prevent fall accidents.

According to statistics, about 40 million elderly people in China fall at least once a year, of which the fall caused by home environment factors accounts for as much as 85%, and falls have become the primary cause of injury and death of the elderly over 65 years old in China.

Through the partial renovation of the house, the installation of barrier-free handrails and the equipment of age-appropriate furniture, etc., the renovation for the elderly can effectively reduce the risk factors in the home environment, improve the safety of the living environment of the elderly, prevent the occurrence of falls for the elderly, and at the same time, the safe living environment can also reduce the fear of the elderly to fall, and give the elderly a sufficient sense of security.

Improve self-care skills and promote physical and mental health.

With the growth of age, the physical function of the elderly shows a trend of gradual decline, and the original decoration and furniture have gradually become an obstacle to the normal life of the elderly, which reduces the self-care ability of the elderly in disguise.

Through age-appropriate transformation, we can help the elderly overcome the difficulties in life, ensure the normal life of the elderly, and improve the self-care ability of the elderly. The regular self-care lifestyle in turn delays the further decline of the physical function of the elderly, reduces the probability that the elderly have to receive long-term care services due to the decline of physical function, creates a safe and comfortable living environment for the elderly, and protects the physical and mental health of the elderly.

Support home care and reduce the cost of care.

Relevant studies have shown that the renovation for the elderly can support the independent life of the elderly by replacing some care services with hardware facilities, reduce the demand for home care services for the elderly, and effectively improve the nursing efficiency and quality of children and caregivers.

Age-appropriate renovation will also bring three economic benefits: Age-appropriate renovation can support the elderly to live at home for as long as possible, shorten the time spent in nursing institutions, and effectively reduce the family's pension expenses. Age-appropriate renovation can reduce some unnecessary home care needs, reduce the cost of families and institutions in elderly care services, and reduce the total cost of elderly care.

To a certain extent, the age-appropriate transformation reduces the probability of accidents, as well as the possibility of physical discomfort symptoms for the elderly, and effectively saves the cost of pension medical care.

I'm glad to answer for you, I think to do age-appropriate transformation, is to make your children and the elderly themselves, aware of the necessity of age-appropriate transformation, so that parents or themselves in their old age, can live more freely, more dignified, and extend the time and quality of independent life. Don't miss the elimination of various obstacles in the living environment because you don't understand or think about it, which will lead to lifelong regret and irreversible things happen around you. I will try my best to share with you the knowledge and environmental decoration that I know about elderly care, suitable aging transformation, etc., and hope that more and more people can see it and take action to create a space where you can easily take care of yourself or live with peace of mind and freedom for the elderly or your aging self.
